“Let’s take a walk,” I said standing up brushing the sand off my clothes. I held out my hand to help her to her feet. She brushed the sand off her clothes then grabbed my hand. We walked down the beach holding hands for about ten minutes not saying a single word to each other. We watched the sun as it slowly set behind the crashing waves.
“Crap, I have to go,” she said frantically then took off running down the beach towards her house. I watched as she quickly disappeared into the night. I thought I was fast, that girl definitely has some speed in here. I started walking back towards her house, replaying the earlier events. The anger in Derek’s eyes, and the small mark on her lower back jumped out in my mind.
I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw the birthmark on her lower back. To any mortal eyes it just appeared as a natural darkened are of skin. To my eyes, I could see the true mark, his mark. It couldn’t be, there had to be a mistake. The black widow spider tattoo was as clear as day to me, it was his special mark for the ones he wanted to claim as his own. The fact that she was marked for death means he was calling her home, but why her?
All of the children born to his concubines held the same mark on their back. He would come to earth in his mortal form and impregnate these unsuspecting women, they would carry his child to term then the mother would die during labor.
A piercing scream startles me from my train of thought. It sounded a lot like Annabelle. She should have made it to her house by now. I take off running in the sand towards the scream. By the time I reach her house there is no one around. I could sense the darkness that had just been here. I hear the squealing of tires in the distance, the same sound that Derek’s car made when he left earlier. But if Derek had taken her then why did she scream? I have to find her before The Dark One does.
---- This is a short blurb as a build up for whats to come and also just to explain her mark.
let me know what you think so far------ thanks :)
